OI MeuQueridoFamilia, Things are great here in the amazing , hot interesting country of Brasil. Im being transferred again grrr just when i know my area. I'm headed back to POA in the morning. Traveling is not very fun with all my stuff. My bags weigh a million pounds and I swear I don't need it all. They lie when they tell you what to bring. O well Ill pack it all around for a little while I guess. Only a few more months i guess. Almost to the 5 month mark. Time truly is flying. All of your love truly is felt, thanks so much for all you do. I have really drawn closer to you all by being here. I have been truly blessed at home and in the mission field. My Portuguese is improving tremendously now. The Lord truly blesses his missionaries. That power is real I've seen and experienced it. I have seen some amazing things happen here in just my short time. I have a very strong testimony of the church now. I thought I had one before but realize now how much I've grown in the gospel. Miracles actually happen in our lives. I love you all and am so grateful for all of you. Love ELDER RAPP

Elder Rapp's Address

Elder Rapp's favorite scripture

Ether 12:27 And if men come unto me I will show unto them their weakness. I give unto men weakness that they may be humble: and my grace is sufficient for all men that humble themselves before me; for if they humble themselves before me, and have faith in me, then will I make weak things become strong unto them.
